FUEL
Guide for Authors
Fuel is concerned with the nature, conservation, preparation, use, interconversion, physical and nuclear properties and chemical reactions including combustion of gaseous, liquid and solid fuels and associated mineral matter; with basic data determining the comparative economic of fuels; and with organic geochemistry. Papers on less usual sources of energy including solar cells, fuel cells and waste, and environmental aspects are welcomed. Topics such as petrochemical reactions, oil refining and reforming, coal carbonization and gasification, and combustor modelling, for example, fall naturally into these categories. Closely related scientific topics in general are of interest.
Important note: Fuel is by definition a journal of fuel and energy science and technology and is not intended as a medium for publishing descriptions of plant results except when the latter make a contribution to scientific understanding. The work described should possess novelty, repetition of earlier work with e.g. a different series of fuels, different starting materials for biodiesel etc. should lead to new and unexpected conclusions if it is to qualify for publication.
Types of Contributions
Contributions falling into the following categories will be considered for publication and should be submitted via Editorial Manager:
• Original high-quality research papers. Preferably no more than 20 double line spaced manuscript pages, including tables and illustrations. Figures and tables can be embedded in the text or on separate page(s) at the end.
•Short communications. No more than 10 double line spaced manuscript pages including tables and figures.
• Letters. No more than 1000 words and two illustrations/tables.
•Review articles. Before preparing a review article for Fuel, authors are encouraged to discuss any proposed review with the relevant editor depending on their region (please see https://www.journals.elsevier.com/fuel/editorial-board/). There are no specific guidelines regarding length, although it should be commensurate with the scope of the review article.
•Book reviews.
Important: If the editors/reviewers feel the paper is longer than it needs to be the authors may be asked to reduce the length of the paper, and therefore authors are recommended to keep their paper as concise as possible to effectively present their research. Please also remember that the longer a paper is, the harder it is to get reviewers to agree to review, and the longer the reviews will take. Keeping your paper as concise as possible helps to secure a speedier review process.
Please ensure the text of your paper is double-spaced and has consecutive line numbering - this is an essential peer review requirement.
